"False anointed ones shall arise..." = 1st Seal. Very reminiscent of pre-World War II, with the ascents of Hitler, Mussolini, etc. How could I have forgotten to mention that other current cult-like ruler and corporate media rock star, Pope Francis?

"On Monday, Putin said Russia had proof that the SU-24 warplane downed last week by the Turkish military on the border with Syria, was done to aid the transit of that oil. "...we have every reason to believe that the decision to shoot down our plane was dictated by the desire to ensure the security of these oil supply routes to Turkey – to the ports where it is shipped out in tankers – while protecting the Turkmen is merely a pretext." Speaking in Paris on Monday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would resign if there is proof of Turkey's cooperation with Islamic State, the terror group which operates in swathes of Syria and Iraq." http://www.cnbc.com/2015/12/01/russia-accuses-turkey-of-aiding-islamic-state-oil-trade.html "The bitter verbal and military clash between Moscow and Ankara spiraled further Friday, Nov. 27. Russian Lt.-Gen.Evgeny Buzhinsky announced that following the downing of the Russian jet by Turkey, “Russia will have to resort to electronic jamming and other warfare equipment, including special aircraft with special equipment on board to protect our pilots from being struck by missiles.” "This was after Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan warned Vladimir Putin “not to play with fire.” "The tension between Moscow and Ankara was further ramped up by the following steps: 1. Turkey suspended its flights over Syria as part of its partnership with the US for air strikes against the Islamic State. According to debkafile’s military sources, Ankara decided to avoid the risk of being shot down by the highly advanced Russian S-300 and S-400 anti-air missile systems newly deployed to Syria." http://debka.com/article/25046/Turkey-suspends-flights-over-Syria-Russia-launches-electronic-warfare-against-Ankara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a briefing in Moscow, defense ministry officials displayed satellite images which they said showed columns of tanker trucks loading with oil at installations controlled by Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, and then crossing the border into neighboring Turkey. ... “Turkey is the main consumer of the oil stolen from its rightful owners, Syria and Iraq. According to information we’ve received, the senior political leadership of the country – President Erdogan and his family – are involved in this criminal business,” said Deputy Defence Minister Anatoly Antonov. “Maybe I’m being too blunt, but one can only entrust control over this thieving business to one’s closest associates.” “In the West, no one has asked questions about the fact that the Turkish president’s son heads one of the biggest energy companies, or that his son-in-law has been appointed energy minister. What a marvelous family business!” “The cynicism of the Turkish leadership knows no limits. Look what they’re doing. They went into someone else’s country, they are robbing it without compunction,” Antonov said. ... The defense ministry said its surveillance revealed that hundreds of tanker trucks were gathering in plain sight at Islamic State-controlled sites in Iraq and Syria to load up with oil, and it questioned why the U.S.-led coalition was not launching more air strikes on them. ... https://www.trunews.com/russia-says-it-has-proof-turkey-is-involved-with-isis-oil-trade/#up7lpEuQz5oqM4je.99 Iraqis think the U.S. is in cahoots with the Islamic State, and it is hurting the war Iraqi fighters say they have all seen the videos purportedly showing U.S. helicopters airdropping weapons to the militants, and many claim they have friends and relatives who have witnessed similar instances of collusion. Ordinary people also have seen the videos, heard the stories and reached the same conclusion — one that might seem absurd to Americans but is widely believed among Iraqis — that the United States is supporting the Islamic State for a variety of pernicious reasons that have to do with asserting U.S. control over Iraq, the wider Middle East and, perhaps, its oil. ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/iraqis-think-the-us-is-in-cahoots-with-isis-and-it-is-hurting-the-war/2015/12/01/d00968ec-9243-11e5-befa-99ceebcbb272_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_iraqhostility-850pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addressing parliamentarians on Thursday, Erdem showed a copy of the criminal case number 2013/120 that was opened by the General Prosecutor's Office in the city of Adana in southern Turkey. The investigation revealed that a number of Turkish citizens took part in negotiations with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) representatives on the supply of sarin gas. Pointing to evidence cited in the criminal case, he said that wiretapped phone conversations proved that an Al-Qaeda militant, Hayyam Kasap, acquired sarin. “These are all detected. There are phone recordings of this shipment like ‘don't worry about the border, we’ll take care of it' and we also see the bureaucracy is being used,” continued Erdem. Based on the gathered evidence Adana authorities conducted raids and arrested 13 suspects in the case. But a week later, inexplicably, the case was closed and all the suspects immediately crossed the Turkish-Syrian border, Erdem said. ... “All basic materials are purchased from Europe. Western institutions should question themselves about these relations. Western sources know very well who carried out the sarin gas attack in Syria." http://allnews.network/index.php/8-news/210-u-s-and-europe-providing-basic-chemicals-for-sarin-to-isis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Russian Defence Ministry said one of its warships, the destroyer Smetlivy, had been forced to fire the warning shots on Sunday morning and that it had summoned the Turkish military attache over the incident. “The Turkish military diplomat was given a tough explanation about the potentially disastrous consequences from Ankara’s reckless actions towards Russia’s military contingent fighting against international terrorism in Syria,” the Defence Ministry said in a statement. https://www.trunews.com/russia-warns-turkey-against-staging-provocations-after-weekend-clash/ "Turkey’s foreign minister said Ankara’s patience with Russia “has a limit” after Moscow’s “exaggerated” reaction to a weekend naval incident between the two countries, an Italian newspaper reported on Monday."https://www.trunews.com/turkey-says-patience-with-russia-has-a-limit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
